We've all been there. Sitting in a meeting with someone rambling on and on as they read words directly from the slides of their boring ass presentation.

This should be mandatory reading.

Guy Kawaski has a great thing

Guy Kawaski has a great thing about the "10-20-30" rule of presentations. It's on his Alltop page or somewhere. It's about you should have 10 slides, the presentation should be 20 mins or less, and you should never use a font smaller than 30 pt
